Well, according to Shunyo, while Osho was in Mecklenberg County Jail, Sheriff Kidd took kindly to Osho and said to Shunyo and Vivek, “He (Bhagwan) is an innocent man.” This may have helped.
Osho was also […]

I am not saying that all sannyasins were involved with narcotics, far from it.
I think it was that ‘Bong’ fellow who sometimes contributes here, the software guy (he has another name), whose story is also that […]

It’s not any kind of church that’s important it’s meditation and enlightenment and there have been quite a lot of cases of sannyasins doing time which gave them time to go inside and see the light.
Satyam Nadeen, […]

This guy sings the ‘refuge mantra’ beautifully. Not sure if he’s an Osho sannyasin:

Osho didn`t leave just the dental chamber, which is close to the Samadhi, intact, he asked for many things in Lao-Tzu to be left just as they were.
He asked for the de-humidifiers to be taken out of his bedroom, […]

Osho didn`t believe in God but he believed in the ancient Indian concept of ‘Astitva’ –
he bowed down to Astitva.But if Astitva or Existence is constantly changing, and evolving, and contains the situations, […]

I searched for ‘Astitva’ and came up with this:
Astitva (2000) – IMDbm.imdb.com title
Rating: 7.3/10 – 469 votes Drama
“Astitva is a bold film with adultery. An ambitious male chauvinist and his loving wife […] -

In 1981 in Poona 1 there were those satsangs which were full of young orange folk. Of course, as Osho said, he could see lots of doubting Thomases.
But in Poona 2, at the end of the discourses, Osho introduced a […]

Thanks, Kavita.
And now I have learned this new word, ‘Asstitva’, for ‘this everything’.
Is it similar to ‘Aum’?: https://youtu.be/N_naTGY-Jcw
I sure would like to read more of Osho`s lectures in his mother tongue. -

Kavita, who or what is Existence, and how does it decide what kind of situations/required grounds are needed for us and any kinds of growth?

Yeah, breaking the fast really is the hard part, especially with a 7 day one. And a hassle.
Actually, I found 7 days too long for me.
I found out how to break a 3 day fast slowly, but it does take a lot of […]

I should add that there are some health conditions where fasting is not recommended.
I usually fast for either two days and two nights or three days and three nights. The latter takes some time for the body to […]

I have personally never tried dry fasting without water and wouldn’t want to.
Hatha yogis and others often fast for 48 hours, or three days a month.
I fasted for two days after getting sick from Indian food […]

I get the impression that Shyam Singha came from a super-rich family in India. These families are a bit like the elite old upper classes of the 19th and 20th century, these lords and ladies would get interested […]

Did Shyam claim that he was Gurdjieff`s cook? I didn`t see that anywhere. He was old enough to have met Gurdjieff, he died at almost 80, in 2000.
He was in Aurobindo`s ashram, that I have been told by someone […]
